Overdoing the Direct Primary.
Without waiting for the full re
turns that will give us the outcome of
the primary election, It Is quite per
missible to indulge 8 few remarks
about the excesses to which direct
nomination has been carried In Ne
braska. All the arguments which
The Bee used against the open pri
mary have been reinforced and all the
predictions of Its vicious operation
have been verified. The nominations
on the various tickets throughout Ne
braska this year will not represent the
choice of the majority of the respec
tive parties, but, on the contrary, the
candidates will owe their nomination
In many cases to the Intrusion Invited
by law of the voters of one political
party into the primaries of another
party.
The exodus of a large body of re
publican voters from their own party
and their Invasion Into the democratic
party, for primary purposes only,
works both ways. It exerts a direct
Influence by the republican votes cast
n the democratic column and an indi
rect influence by subtraction of votes
from the republican column. The
open primary thus completely obliter
ates party lines and destroys the very
purpose and Intent of party nomina
tions. This evil goes far beyond the
mere form of the ballot, cumbersome,
confusing and disfranchising as it is,
and tends to undermine the very foun
dations of responsible party govern
ment.
Sharing -the condemnation of the
vicious open primary comes the muti
lation of our registration law govern
ing the qualifications of voters in our
cities. Here in Omaha hundreds upon
hundreds of voters entitled to partici
pate in the primary were shut out be
cause unable to comply with the re
quirement of presentation In person
at the city hall with two freeholders
to secure certificate of removal or
special registration. The registration
by which the election boards were
governed was made nearly a year ago
and practically no opportunity given
for corrections or transfers for those
who had In the interval removed their
residence from one precinct to an
other or had come into the city since
the last election. It is absolutely lm
peratlve that some permanent ma
chinery be provided by which registra'
tion may be corrected at any time
without forcing the voter to laconvenl'
ence amounting almost to disfran
chisement. The present registration
law as applied to the open primary by
the late democratic legislature is nul
lification of popular government and a
disgrace to the Intelligence of the peo
ple of a great state like Nebraska.
Interurban Transportation.
French capital is said to have been
enlisted. in the enterprise of building
electric railways between St. Louis
and Kansas City and the report is re
ceived with much gratification In
those cities.
1 There was a time when the lnterur
ban electric line seemed to be most de
Blrable under any circumstances as the
best means of affording cheap and
quick transportation, consequently
bringing the rural districts into closer
proximity with the cities and thus
building up great retail centers, with
all the incidental advantages. But to
day some question surrounds the
proposition. The amazing popularity
of the automobile and the correspond
ing Improvement in country roads,
cheaper and better railroad facilities
and the railroad motor car are ele
ments which must be taken into con
sideration now. If the good roads
movement Is carried to its possibili
ties it, with the automobiles, may yet
solve the problem ahead of the elec
tric railway. Good roads themselves
have done1 a vast amount In that di
rection already.
Of course there is no denying the
fact that we need, especially In. the
west, better interurban facilities and
some electric railways have done Im
mense good in meeting the demands,
but neither can It be denied that capi
tal is a little slower to go into this
sort of investment today than It was
a few years ago. That seems to be
clearly evident in the fact that the
Missouri promoters had to go clear to
France for their money.
The Auto in Politics.
A new machine has taken Its place
In American politics. The automobile
has invaded another, field of useful
ness. It has become the most con
venient means of campaigning which
offlceseekers have yet discovered. Es
pecially is Its serviceability felt In the
closing hours of the contest, when
candidates have numerous speeches to
make at various stands and must
cover the ground in a brief period.
Some of them travel fast enough to
bo classed as "Joy riders" and yet the
returns render such a term applicable
only In half the number of cases. To
the other half It Is anything else than
Joy ridlug.
Of course, like all machines In poll-
tics, this one has its disadvantages as
well as its advantages. For instance,
It does not set well with the hoi polol,
the proletariat, as it were, to have a
man seeking the votes of the common
people, come racing up to their
humble ward meeting in a big, fine,
costly automobile and sometimes the
candidate himself Is brought to a bit
ter realization of this fact after it is
too late. Automoblllng for votes,
therefore, to be successful, must be
done with the keenest discrimination.
In districts where money is plentiful
enough to buy autos the scheme will
work without the least peril to the
politician, but in those districts where
the voters do more walking than joy
I riding and where "wages" are more
general than "salaries" or "Incomes,"
It may be well to leave the auto a safe
distance off, for to steam up to such a
place with bull's eyes gleaming like a
department store fire and horn toot
ing would, to say the least, not be
good politics.
The automobile, with Its swift
means of locomotion, Is a terror to the
other fellow who is running Just
ahead of you In the waning campaign,
telling the voters what a tough propo
sition you are. Denials seldom over
take canards, but they can make great
speed In autos and thus by getting In
right on the heels of the fellow who
has denounced you, gives the advan
tage of nailing his attack while it is
hot, and of bringing the campaign to
the finest point of Interest at the very
finish. And not only for speeding
candidates from place to place, but for
hauling voters from poll to poll, the
auto must be given a new place as a
campaigner, destined to become the
most popular machine politics has yet
seen.
How to Divide the Pay Check.
The average married man may
never have thought that his wife
needed special Instruction In the art
of relieving him of his week's wages,
but Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin
tendent of the Chicago public schools,
seems to think so. At least Mrs.
Young has arranged to Install a course
In domestic science, one of whose
chief arts is this very proposition. Of
course, she does It in the name of
household economy, but that may be
the last feature to Impress itself on
the mind of the man behind the check.
Mrs. Young is not an open advocate
of woman's rights, but in her own gen
tle way she is not overlooking any
chance of tossing a right or two
to woman.
This course is to be placed In the
high school curriculum, so that the
only warning for men Is to make dil
igent Inquiry to ascertain If "she'
ever attended the Chicago . high
schools. Otherwise many of the c
lng married men of Chicago must
"prepare to stand aside" to use the
words of a famous statesman when it
cornea to matters of financing their
own home and personal habits. This
thing of the hubby holding out on
wifey has got to stop, and since the
expedient of wlfey going through
hubby's pockets at midnight has ut
terly failed to meet the issue, Mrs.
Young'B- emergency act will be given
the right-of-way, and there is no sort
of doubt that it will work with un
erring precision. The only hope for
John is to convince Mary that he has
been docked or cut in his wages, In
this way holding out a little more
change for himself. But even that
wll wear threadbare in time. John
it appears,' is about to encounter a
new limitation In the exercise of hjs
manly franchise and, forbidding as
the prospect may seem, no alternative
is in sight at present.
Mrs. Young probably has a dual pur
pose in view, the propagating of the
great cause of housewifery and the
solution of the cost of living problem.
One looks much better than the other
from the girl's standpoint. Certainly
matrimony ought to be encouraged by
such an expansion of the rights of the
wife In the economy of the home, but
whether it will reduce the family ex
penses much for the wife to preside
at the carving of the salary Instead of
the husband Is another question. True,
the plan conceives the systematic ap
portionment of the pay check to the
various needs of the household, bo
that the wife may know in advance of
the week where every cent goes,' In
cluding the few she allows her hus
band, but will not such positive aban
don in the exercise of authority In
time simply transplant the habits of
waste and prodigality from the hus
band to the wife? The scheme in its
embryonic form suggests several pos
sibilities of Improvement.
Judge Alton B. Parxer sees a bril
liant chance for the democratic party
this fall and, like all the other proph
ets, he predicts success on a negative
basis, claiming nothing for his party,
but depending on alleged "sins of
commission and omission" committed
by the other fellow. One would think
the Judge might have learned some
thing by experience.
If the present blanket ballot is re
tained, with Us needless burdens on
election officers, It will be necessary to
double the pay of judges and clerks
of the primary election to get compe
tent men to serve. There Is no ex
cuse for requiring an election officer
to work twenty-four hours at a
stretch.
Texas senatorshlps and governor
ships vary widely as to money values,
if the campaign expenses of Senator
Culberson and Governor Colquitt may
be taken as Indices. Culberson spent
$27 for a renominatton and Colquitt
for governor paid out $11,000 for his
nomination. What Is the answer?
That Indian who "forgot" how It
was be came to deposit 75,o4o In the

that cannot be diverted by such baga
telles. If Governor Shallenberger is
trimmed for renominatton, he commit
ted political suicide when he put his
name to the open primary law, and he
drove an extra spike In his coffin when
he signed up the 8 o'clock lid law.
The Bee has received an anonymous
letter protesting against its reference
to the Insubordinate policemen who
refused to obey orders In the Colum
bus street car strike. The Bee reit
erates that a police officer, like a sol
dier, must execute commands, and re
fusal to do so should bring summary
dismissal.
Charges have been filed against the
chief of police of Dps Moines asking

better had he filed on the democratic

The dog days would be a little duller, the
humidity would be more depressing and
the daily grind more 'nerve wearing were it
not for the uplift and mental refreshment
that is to be derived from the stories which
dally find their way- into print about the
doings of hens, cowl, bugs, snakes and
various other representatives of the beaat.
bird, insect or reptiillan kingdom. For in
stance, an authenticated (always suthen
tlcated) story from the Altoona region of
Pennsylvania tells of a hen that lay a
poached egg three afternoon of every week,
On the ame day that the foregoing story
came out, a sturgeon six feet eight. Inches
long attacked the occupant of a rowboat
on the Niagara river Jumped In the boat
and came near putting a young lady over
board. It I pleasant to know that the
sturgeon lost In the final round and fur
nlshed steak for the winners. And again,
on that eventful day, a cow-eucker snake of
enormous proportions, made war on a New
Jersey farmer. Again the human contestant
won at the finish, though In the early stage
of the combat the snake, by wrapping him
self around the farmer's legs, seemed to
have the fight well In hand.

Now and then a government clerk die In
a secondary position and little note I taken
of hi death beyond the bare statement that
he served virtually a lifetime In a certain1
capacity. In a way thla may be a reflection
on hi usefulness. There are notable ex
ception, however, the most recent being
Thomas P. Cleavea, deceaaed, for thirty
year clerk of the senate committee on ap
propriations. "He began work a clerk of
the committee in 1873," relate the New
York World, "when Senator Morrill of Ver
mont wa Ita chairman, and continued al
most to the end of Senator Aldrlch's chosen
time for retirement. He saw new senator
come and veteran senators go, and alike
he outstayed them. They had the honor
and the victories and the fame, but he wa
Indispensable. The sense of knowledge and
authority over hi superiors which such a
man possessed, aloof from political changes,
waa perhaps hi best reward. He was
neither an accident nor a great statesman,
but a plain necessity.
"In the various department of the gov
ernment such men are not Infrequent. They
are unknown to the public, their services
attract no attention outside their sphere, but
they are the Infallible part of the ma
chinery when administrations change. It la
often harder to fill their places than to stop
a gap In the cabinet."
A special dispatch from Washington
make thla announcement: "Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Cabell has decided that
In spite of the exemption of mutual loan
and building companies from the corpora
tion tax when they engaged In business of
lending money for their profit, they will
have to pay the assessment just like other
institutions. Otherwise, said Mr. Cabell, in
explaining hi decision, an unfairness would
be done to regular banking Institutions
forced to pay the tax and uompete at the
same time with the building and loan com
panies not paying it.
'Following thi decision, the building and
loan associations of Washington, which In
clude two Incorporated concern, eighteen
unincorporated, and eight having a nominal
existence and practically Inactive, have re
ceived notice from the collector of Internal
revenue of thla decision, and that they must
pay the 1 per cent assessment of the cor
poration tax law. A a result, the offi
cials of the organisation are greatly
stirred."
By the middle of October the people of
the United States will know their own
number, as revealed by the thirteenth cen
sus. Up to date the. .names In more than
68,000 of the 70,000 district be.ve been
counted. It 1 known that the census of
ficial generally fall in with the popular
idea, that there are about M.000,000 people In
the United Statas. Between the censu of
1890 and that of 1900 there was an increase
of about 13,00e,000, and only a allghUy
larger Increase would now be necessary to
bring the figure up to the 80,000,000 mark.
This result is arrived at by a purely arith
metical calculation, and not by any com
pilation of the figures recently taken.
About 300 nimble-fingered yo'ing men and
women are engaged night and day in de
termining the figure which,' when the final
computation is made, will show the total
population. i ' '
"There Is a reverse to the picture," ob
serves the National Magazine; "that .Ufa In
the capital win always possess an attrac
tion ' wMch cannot be defined, and that
routine work 1 not so wearing as the uncer
tain 'rush' of ordinary business. Wealthy
people from all parts of the country es
tabllsh home at Washington to enjoy the
social season, and their daughters are all
eager to go, but the young men remain at
the old home attending to business, and
such young men are seldom found in Wash
ington. The government service constantly
enlists women from all over the country
who are usually women of extraordinary
ability and highly educated. Many of them
are related to resident of Washington and
readily find work In the government ser
vice without having to go afield for It.
Naturally the matrimonial decadence which
Waahlngtonlan lament ensues. There are
now 200,000 people in the capital of mar
riageable age, but ol these 30,000 men are
officially declared bachelors, and 60,000
women are unmarried with the 'chance
strong against them.' Ten years ago there
were many fresh, pretty girl at the desks
in Washington; now there are more
mature faces steadily performing the same
dally task. Three out of every ten govern
ment employes In Washington are women,
a percentage far exceeding any govern
ment force anywhere else In the world.
The unwritten law of the department de
mand that the woman who marries lose
her position, and it has been said that a
woman worker dislikes to give up a cer
tainty for an uncertainty. Daughter of
congressmen and senators may be included
In this list, for the glamor of Washington
society enchants them and they love to
come here."
From having the worst reformatory
prison system In the country, the District
of Columbia now proposes to have the beat.
The commissioners have chosen W. H.
Whlttaker, formerly superintendent of the
Indiana reformatory, to take charge of the
work of establishing an entirely new prison
and reformatory system for the district.
The commissioner have, bought some 1,200
acre of land twenty-four mile south of
Washington on the Virginia side of the
Potomac and bordering the Potomac river
and the Occouan river. It ia the wish of
congress and of the district commissioner
that there shall be established on the site
a workhouse and a reformatory, each of
which will be a model for the country.
Under Mr. Whlttaker' contract he Is to
have complete charge of the establishment
of the two Institutions. The construction
of the building, which I to be begun at
once, will be under hi supervision. In other
words, the commissioners have turned over
to him the whole bualnea of providing the j
aistnci wiui a inuuei woranouse and
model reformatory.

It I to be feared that oue exportable

usually our second largest crop, has failed
badly, and our own Industrial population

The prospects of shifting the balance of

anything but bright. Our July export

CROPS AMD CHEAPER LIVING.

Chicago Post
The government, crop report for August
hows that we are going to have J68.000,-
000 more bushel of corn than we had in
our last year' crop and 13,000.000 more
bi'f-hel of. oats. Ort the other hand, It
show that w are to have ti8,0000.00 less
bushel of wheat than we had last year
and 17,000,000 less of barley. Rye I to
run even. Combining the increase and
decreases on all grains, there is a gain
cf 86,000,000 bushel. .
These figure are not those of crop
actually gathered. They arc but esti
mates of probable yields. Nevertheless
experience has shown that they are ac
curate enough to . throw valuable light
upon our economic year. In this instance
they must act to quash fears spread by
the crop alarmists of the last month.
The plentltude of corn Is the saving
grace In the report, although It predic
tion for a first-class winter wheat crop
is not to be Ignored. The total increase
In corn is more than double the total
decrease in wheat It ought to go far
toward making up the shortage. More
than that, It ought to cut directly Into
the cost of living. For cheaper corn
means cheaper cattle and hoga.' Which in
turn means cheaper table meats next year.
Does newspaper advertising pay?
Rather.
This Btory, told by a man who has
been . an advertiser for a good many
years, should1 be of interest to those
who are still in doubt as to whether
or not newspaper advertising pays.
"For a long while, I, like a, great
many other men, regarded advertising
as' an expense instead of an invest-
ment Somehow I Just couldn't tee
that advertising was anything more
than s great big gamble.
"I carried the best goods I could get,
did everything I knew to make my
place attractive, but I did not get the
business I expected.

of getting more people In my store I
tried all sorts of fool schemes, but
none of them did any lasting good.
There would be little spurts of better
business and then It would fall off

See the moon In Its lat quarter.
And the rose-pink sky at dawning
Reflected In the water. . ,
How sweet the vistas to our eye
That past the window Jerk,
When we are borne to happy, lands
Afar from work. .
When on the lakv at eve we glide
And watch the light -g!lmmer, ,
Between the eunset and the time
When silvery moonbeam hlmmer;
When Insect tune their orchestra
On banka where falrlea lurk.
Bomehow there cornea "a-buttln' tn

When In these long vacation days
With laslness we're sated;
When we were well convinced that ease
H much been overrated r ' -
When our new togs have lost their shine.
New faces lost their smirk.

Than work.
When on our way returning
We view the shining water!
And the moon a peekln' from

Oh. then our hearts press buoyant n
No effort will we shirk
That brings us to th happy land
